The network device in the embodiments of the present application may bea device for communicating with the terminal device. The network devicemay be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in the GSM or the CDMA, or abase station (NodeB, NB) in the WCDMA system, or an Evolutional NodeB(eNB or eNodeB) in the LTE system, or a wireless controller in a CloudRadio Access Network (CRAN) scenario, or the network device may be arelay station, an access point, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device,and a network device in a future 5G network or a network device in afuture evolved PLMN network, which is not limited in the embodiments ofthe present application.

The networkdevice 20 is configured to provide communication service for theterminal device 10 and make the terminal device 10 access the corenetwork. The terminal device 10 may access the network by searching fora synchronization signal, a broadcast signal, and the like transmittedby the network device 20, thereby performing communication with thenetwork. Arrows shown in FIG. 1 may represent uplink/downlinktransmissions by cellular links between the terminal device 10 and thenetwork device 20.

In order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of thepresent application, some elements in the Evolved Packet System (EPS)bearer service architecture are briefly described in conjunction withFIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the network architecture mainly includes anEvolved-Universal Mobile Telecommunication System Terrestrial RadioAccess Network (E-UTRAN) and an Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The EPCincludes a Serving Gateway (S-GW) and a Packet Data Network Gateway(P-GW). In the EPS bearer service architecture, the end-to-end servicemay be decomposed into two parts: the EPS bearer and the externalbearer. one Evolved Radio Access Bearer (E-RAB) is used to transmit apacket of one EPS bearer between the UE and the evolved EPC, and theE-RAB and EPS bearer are in a one-to-one correspondence. One radiobearer is used to transmit a packet of one E-RAB bearer between the UEand the eNodeB, and the radio bearer and the E-RAB/EPS bearer are in aone-to-one correspondence. One S1 bearer is used to transmit a packet ofone E-RAB bearer between the eNodeB and the S-GW. One S5/S8 bearer isused to transmit a packet of one EPS bearer between the S-GW and theP-GW, and the external bearer is used to transmit information betweenthe EPC and a peer entity.

In the LTE system, the RRC state of the UE mainly includes an RRC idlestate and an RRC connection state. The RRC idle state is such a state:there is an S5/S8 bearer, there is no radio bearer and S1 bearer, thecore network side reserves the UE context, the eNodeB and the UE do notreserve each other's context, and the terminal reserves an uniqueidentifier (which is generally a Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity(TMSI)) within the Time Advance (TA). The UE in the RRC idle state doesnot interact data with the network, does not have a DiscontinuousReception (DRX) process configured by a Non-access stratum (NAS), systeminformation broadcast and paging, neighbor cell measurement, and themobility of cell reselection, and does not have the behavior ofreporting a measurement report and the like. The RRC connection state issuch a state: there are the S5/S8 bearer, the S1 bearer, and the radiobearer; the core network, eNodeB, and UE all reserve correspondingcontexts, and the eNodeB allocates an access stratum (AS) identifier(usually a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI)). The UE inthe RRC connection state may exchange data with the network, and mayhave the DRX configured by the AS, the mobility of the handover, and thebehavior of reporting the channel measurement to the network side andthe like.

In the 5G system, a third state, that is, an RRC inactive state, isintroduced. The RRC inactive state is such a state: there are the S5/S8bearer, the S1 bearer, and a part of the radio bearer, the core network,the eNodeB, and the UE all reserve the corresponding context, and theeNodeB allocates the access stratum AS identifier (usually a Resumeidentification (ID)). The UE in the RRC inactive state has the mobilityof cell reselection, has no measurement report, and may perform smalldata transmission and reception, and there may be DRX configured by theAS.

The so called mobile state of the terminal device may bedefined as the number of cell reselections within a predetermined time,and may include a high-speed mobile state, a medium-speed mobile state,and a normal mobile state. The decision parameter of the mobile state ofthe terminal device may be, for example, a time window T_(CRmax) forindicating that the terminal device enters the medium-speed orhigh-speed mobile state decision, or a cell reselection number thresholdN_(CR_H) for indicating the high-speed mobile state decision, or a cellreselection number threshold N_(CR_M) for indicating the medium-speedmobile state decision, or a time window T_(CRmaxHyst) for indicatingthat the terminal device leaves the medium-speed or high-speed mobilestate decision. The scaling parameter is some of the secondaryparameters used in the cell selection and reselection parameters, and infact, it is a value.
